Merc2020 Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 theres no benefit of construction, you can't make money of it, and it has really no bonuses worth the money it takes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nvw08 Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 I like having a house tele, where I can charge pray after barrows then tele right back, and house parties are fun :D Droolman's item Guide | My RuneScape pictures | My barrows videos, with download link!Free Image Hosting! | Free File Hosting!

MrSScope Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 So the guilded altar, tele tablets, portals, ... whatever more are all pointless ? Just because YOU don't like construction (neither do I but meh) it doesn't mean it's crap :uhh: 99 cooking / 99 magic / 99 ranged / 99 hitpoints / 99 herblore / 99 defence Quoted for truth, wisest thing I've heard anyone say on Runescape.

deangut Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Couldn't be more wrong on it With the new spell book or even Ancients construction rocks You can make tele tablets to help you get around Use the Alter in your house unlimited glorys Use the protals in the house to help when on above 2 spell books. Is it a money maker.. NAH.. But very usefull and worth the time and money for me.. @ - Come Join SoDB in Some GWD and other Slaying! - @ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beamo26 Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 There are many advantages, Barrows repair, house portals, tele tablets, guilded altar and all that but they are at the higher levels and it costs you heaps just to get there... It's not pointless, I just dont like spending money :P Check out my blog here!Thanks Jopie211 for the sig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharane Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Neither is agility or slayer if you put it that way. :-s Construction may not make any money, but a house can become a very neccessity in itself. How do you think you're going to teleport with different spellbooks? Teleport tablets. How do you make them? Using a lectern in a study. How do you get a lectern? Raising construction levels. Need over desire boy. :P "300 programmers make their futile but glorious last stand against 1000000 angry players in The battle of Misthalin. They fight for honor, glory and new content sacrificing themselves so that their game may live on. This is Madness! This Is JAGEEEX!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aj926 Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 OK, here's what 1M-1.5M in construction gets you (52 con). - Tele to anywhere on ancients - An instant pray recharge with the click of a teleport tablet or regular tele - A teleport to the werewolf town - Games, games, games - A butler that pretty much owns - Fun in raising the skill - Total lvl + - Self accomplishment, morale boost... - Let me stress this again. Teleport anywhere with ancients. - Glory tele (infinate) - Meeting place - Barrow repair for resduced cost -The ability to plank logs really fast, which can make MAJOR BUCKS if you do it right Not worth it?- Pssh I love my house and would have spent 2M just for the feeling of accomplishment I got while doing it. Every level you get that "oh wow i can make something new" feeling, and you have easy access to rimmington which is easy acess to one of the best rune shops ever, not to mention SNAPE GRASS RESPAWN.

vppunkrocker Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 It is a waste of money... but it can be usefull as said before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aj926 Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 It is a waste of money... but it can be usefull as said before Wrong. An altar right next to a tele place with an infinate amount of teles to anywhere is pointless? It is a pkers, kqers, barrowers, and questers dream. THE BEST skill besides combat skills.

Adam007 Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 No, you probably don't get out from it efficiency wise overall what you put into it. It's not completely pointless though. It can provide entertainment, which can't be figured since it's not dealing with xp or efficiency or anything. Overall though, it's a pretty fun ride exploring while you level everything, trying the things out, inviting friends, all that. On paper it's not worth it, but it has it's ups.

moopymitchell182 Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Construction is more of a convenience than a money maker. It saves time and makes barrows (among other things) easier to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you say it is pointless it sompletely rules out the fact that you said it has some uses. 1M for that stuff is not much. I make 1m per day with barrows...

Turk Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Construction isn't pointless. Chapels, Lecterns, Portals, Workshop, etc. They're all very helpful. Just because you can't make money off a skill does not make it pointless. In fact, Construction is very beneficial if you get to the higher levels, and can make the better objects and rooms stated above. Now, if Construction was just you building a house where you can sit on chairs? Then yes, it would be pointless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guitarted7 Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Useless? at lvl 53, u can make tele rooms that can teleport you to several useful places (kharyll tele w.o ancients), infinite glory teles, and most important of all, cheap barrow repair (using tea). there are others but i dont wanna use my head too much during summer, but int short... spend money for convenience? YES plus if u think 1.2 mil is too much money to spend on a skill? look at herblore and prayer...heck..magic is expensive in the long run Click here to see my goals and achievements thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
